Molly Reid Chapter (Derry, N. H.).—The December meeting was held with Miss Marcia Emery, chairman of the board of managers, at Brookline, Mass. Although living in another state, Miss Emery retains a lively interest in the chapter and is altogether one of our most loyal members.

There was a large representation. These were met on their arrival by Miss Lillian Poor, another member who resides in Boston, who conducted all who wished to go, to historic places in and about the city of Boston, especially to the North End, where the Daughters of the American Revolution would naturally be the most attached.

We first visited Copp's Hill burying ground where rest many of the Revolutionary heroes; afterwards Christ Church, made famous as the place where the lanterns were hung in the steeple to make known to Paul Revere the need of his midnight ride. We also visited the home of Paul Revere and other historic buildings, besides Fanueil Hall-"The Cradle of Liberty."

The time for sight-seeing had then expired and we repaired to the cheery, hospitable home of our hostess.

After an hour of sociability, during which lunch was served, the regular meeting was opened.

The chapter ode was first sung and to give it added interest the author, Mrs. Bouton, of Cambridge, was present as an invited guest.

We were then welcomed to Boston by Mrs. Head, daughter of one of New Hampshire's governors and regent of the Boston Tea Party Chapter. Mrs. Chase, regent of Molly Reid Chapter, responded.

There were also present the regent of the Paul Revere Chapter and the regent of Lexington Chapter who gave an able paper on Pocahontas. An interesting paper on the Jamestown Exposition and the part taken by the Daughters of the American Revolution in it was presented by Mrs. Reed, of Lowell, Mass.

Mrs. Shepard, our state regent, and members of Molly Reid Chapter followed with appropriate remarks. The beautiful singing of our chapter quartet and the solos rendered by Miss Edith Kelley added greatly to the enjoyment of the program.—ELLEN COCHRANE, Historian.
